I found a tutorial in a japanese craft book to create little shrimps out of plastic straws! I had to give it a try! I love the little one but to be honest I needed several trials until I could unterstand the tutorial, even if the tutorial came with a lot of explaining pictures (which were necessary, I can't read japanese!).
I am not sure what to make out of him or whether I should make more... (the second depending on the first question, I think)
But he made me smile! :)
...and yes, I thought of using him to make earrings but he is a little bit too big for that!
WOW! Weird and amazing! Love the Japanese sensibility with craft, somehow it is just different. Your shrimpie is so elegant - maybe he is a pendant? Or make a beach-themed terrarium and put him in the sand?
